brake booster removal- I'm not Houdini---

Oct 29, 2003 2 Replies

I have to replace the booster on my 96 yukon. There is no room to move a socket wrench or any other hand wrench enough to back the locking nuts an inch and a half off the studs coming thru the fire wall. How is it done? Thanks, Larry


did you get a manual? start removing stuff thats in the way, use ratcheting type tools.

No...you aren't Houdini...but often your tools have to be. On those type of vehicles, I use sometimes one or more flex sockets in conjunction with each other. Depends on the angle you need. And lately, I depend a lot on some ratcheting wrenches that are called GearWrench's. They can get in a lot of places that the old style ratcheting wrench's never could.
